Speeds
TeliaSonera has inevitably talked up the high-speeds
possible using the new network, claiming that maximum
speeds of 100Mb/s is achievable, making it ten times
faster than its Turbo-3G (HSPA) network. However as
the worlds first LTE networks speeds have been closely monitored and are said to be significantly lower in live
tests. A recent independent study achieved peak download speeds in Stockholm of 50Mb/s and 85Mb/s in Oslo,
though average speeds were reported to be 16.8Mb/s
and 32.1Mb/s, respectively. This is someway short of the
advertised 100Mb/s but still significantly beyond what is
possible via the operators fastest HSPA networks today.
Sweden, in particular, has proved an ideal market for
early-stage LTE rollout. According to the latest Wireless

playing field. Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, HTC, and Huawei are among suppliers that plan LTE phone availability
in the second half of 2010. We expect introductions into
the market before the end of the year with substantial
market rollout in 2011.
A critical factor in 4G success will spill over from 3.5G
having the hottest hand-held devices. Suppliers will
dance to the tune of the largest operators with the most
significant coverage. We expect LTE to pick up market
momentum once Verizon and other early deployments
roll out.
4G Chipset Landscape
Surprisingly, there are already many players in the LTE
base-band chipset landscape: incumbent manufacturers
(Qualcomm, ST-Ericsson and Nokia), new entrants who
never commercialized previous chipsets such as 3G (LG
Electronics and Samsung Electronics), and newcomers who leverage their OFDM expertise (Altair, Beceem,
Comsys, Sequans, and Wavesat). While LTE incumbent
providers focus on sampling dual-mode chipsets, new
entrants position themselves as technology drivers, delivering early LTE-only solutions.
Maravedis has observed that the momentum of chip
supply has shifted to WiMAX/LTE and LTE/3G multi-mode
chipset solutions, with WiFi and 3G becoming required
modes depending on the product application. Beceem,
Sequans, Altair, Comsys, and Wavesat have announced
LTE chipsets. Some have been demoed (Altair, Comsys
and Wavesat) and others will follow in Q210 (Sequans)
and Q410 (Beceem).
However, early LTE chipset suppliers may not be the
long-term winners in the dual-mode 3G/4G chipset market. Maravedis believes that few among the WiMAX chipset newcomers are seeking to be acquired in the near
term. Furthermore, diversified product entrants such as
LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics have no evident
long-term LTE chipset roadmap.
The development of the LTE modem itself is not the
most complex aspect of the global LTE picture. Interoperability, seamless hand over, architecture expertise
and management of the different bands across the world
may be the most challenging obstacles facing LTE chipset suppliers.

they launched WiMAX devices, reaching a total of 1.4 million units shipped in 2009. In Q4 2009 alone, the company
surpassed 600,000 units. At the same time, Beceem announced 1 million chipset units shipped in Q3 2009, followed by another million in Q4 2009, reaching nearly 3
million units total for the year.
Maravedis estimates total revenues from mobile
WiMAX equipment sales hit US$1.22 billion last year,
while legacy (802.16d and proprietary) wireless broadband technologies combined market reached US$420
million, despite interesting prospects in the unlicensed
band markets and vertical applications such as smart
grids. The combined WiMAX market size in 2009 was
US$1.36 billion compared to US$1.34 billion in 2008.
2009 has been a transitional year: WiMAX experienced
rather shaky growth: sales of user devices and network

is always less than or equal to the number of antennas.
Precoding: Precoding modifies the layer signals before transmission. This may be done for diversity,
beamsteering or spatial multiplexing. The MIMO
channel conditions may favor one layer (data stream)

Improving throughput
performance in LTE by channel
estimation noise averaging
Glasgow G4 0UW
Scotland UK
Introduction
Signals transmitted over a multipath fading channel,
are prone to fluctuations in signal power due to propagation conditions such as: scattering, reflection or refraction. To coherently detect and decode the received signal, an accurate channel estimate is required.
LTE uses cell specific reference signals (pilot symbols)
inserted in both time and frequency to facilitate estimation of channel characteristics. Using pilot symbols
it is possible to estimate the channel at given locations
within a resource grid. Interpolating between these
estimates determines the channel response across an
entire resource grid. LTE reference signals are assigned
unique locations within a resource grid depending on the
eNodeB cell identification number and transmit antenna
port used. No other antenna transmits pilot symbols at
these locations in time and frequency, allowing channel
estimation for multi-antenna configurations to be performed.
Noisy pilot symbols affect the accuracy of channel
estimation thereby having a significant effect on overall
receiver throughput performance. Therefore it is important
to remove or reduce the noise during channel estimation.
Channel estimation algorithm
The channel estimation algorithm described in this article is shown in Figure 1 and its method of operation is
described further in this section.
ltep or ta l . c om
First the reference signals for a transmit/receive antenna pair are extracted from their known location within
the received subframe resource grid. The pilot symbol
values are known to the receiver, thus it is possible to
determine the channel response at these locations using
the following least squares estimate:
28
Conformance testing
Conformance testing provides a means to measure
the compliance of a system against the LTE specifications. Steepest Ascents 3G Evolution Lab - LTE Toolbox
and Blockset provides the tools to investigate the merits
of noise averaging on throughput. The setup described in
Table 1 is an example of the LTE conformance tests pertaining to the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)
and is used to demonstrate the effect of channel estimation and noise reduction on performance. Furthermore
the positive and negative effects of averaging with respect to the propagation channel model and noise level
are illustrated.
Conformance test results
Performance curves for a range of SNRs have been
plotted in Figure 4. These curves represent different levels of averaging and include as reference the results after equalization using perfect knowledge of the channel.
29
From the performance graph it is apparent optimal averaging parameters allow the channel estimator to perform almost as well as having perfect knowledge of the
channel. If no averaging is applied, performance is poor
and only begins to improve as the Signal to Noise Ratio
(SNR) increases. Similarly if excessive averaging is used
performance suffers and remains well below the desired
minimum even as the noise level decreases. This is due
to frequency selectivity of the channel being averaged
out, thus degrading channel estimates.
Conclusions
This article leveraged the Steepest Ascent Ltd 3G
Evolution Lab - LTE Toolbox and Blockset for PHY design, verification and conformance testing to investigate a channel estimation method capable of reducing
noise on pilot symbols. The noise reduction method was
shown to produce notable improvements in throughput
performance, rivalling perfect knowledge of the channel.
However, the size of the noise averaging window must be
chosen carefully and with knowledge of some channel
parameters.

their exact strategy based on their spectrum and equipment assets. LTE should have a few trials in the region,
of which one already started in January in Chile with additional trials planned this year in Argentina and Brazil.
Pearson: In Canada, Rogers Wireless continues to be
very aggressive in deploying mobile broadband technologies for their customers. Rogers has deployed HSPA+
in many of the countrys major cities.
Is HSPA+ a competitive technology to the
so-called 4G technology that is in the U.S.
market today?
Pearson: The International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) has not yet certified any technologies to be IMT-Advanced or 4G. However, in the U.S. market, Sprint-Nextel has been liberally using the marketing term 4G for
its WiMAX technology. Both HSPA and HSPA+ have far
superior coverage than WiMAX and compete extremely
well against WiMAX in all aspects of important customer
metrics, such as network speed, device ecosystem, applications and did I mention coverage? To put it in perspective, HSPA delivers a typical user download speed
of 700 kbps to 1700 kbps; HSPA+ provides typical user
download speeds of 1.5 Mbps to 7 Mbps and with bursts
much higher speed.

processing sub-system. The V5F-10G provides a full Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure to allow for system expansion.
Additional optical data interfacing is enabled by dual SFP
interfaces connected directly to the FPGA.
When supporting multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
systems with channels encoded using spread-spectrum
techniques such as OFDMA, data from all radio antennas
has to be available to all baseband processing blocks. In this
kind of application, many sub-system designers are turning to SRIO, which is already implemented on the main DSP
choices for baseband processing, and can be obtained with
standard FPGA IP cores. It has a lower protocol overhead
than Ethernet and supports multiple masters, unlike PCI
Express. SRIOs multicast feature is also important in distributed systems. AMC-V5F-10G provides 10Gbps SRIO connectivity from the FPGA to the AMC backplane to allow data
transfer to other AMC modules in the system
In summary, LTE has a wide range of implementation
options and challenges, as described above. Whatever the
application, CommAgility can provide sub-systems with the
performance, I/O and flexibility to meet these requirements.

The world is in love with mobile broadband. The evidence is all around to see.
There is no turning back.
The path to mobile broadband, which
began with 3G/WCDMA, is now commercially available on 347 networks in 144
countries. Its first evolution, High Speed
Packet Access (HSPA), significantly
boosts capacity and user data speeds.
HSPA is now deployed and commercially launched by
over 98% of WCDMA operators i.e. 341 HSPA networks
commercially launched in 143 countries. There are now
around half a billion WCDMA mobile broadband subscribers, of which HSPA represents more than 43% of
subscriptions and this segment is growing at a current
monthly rate of 7 million.
2,349 HSPA user devices have been launched in the
market by more than 230 suppliers, according to research
by GSA in April 2010, with 610 new devices introduced in
the last 6 months. HSPA-enabled devices provide high
speed mobile broadband connectivity for every segment
of the market. Taking notebooks and netbooks as examples, 432 products are specified with HSPA embedded
as standard or optional, and in the newer segments, 10
HSPA-enabled e-book readers are launched. There are
now approaching 1,000 models of HSPA-enabled phones
on the market, including smartphones which are the key
growth segment. Excluding notebooks and e-book read-

TeliaSonera chose to work with Ericsson for the Swedish network and with the Chinese firm Huawei for the
Norwegian network. The first LTE modem that TeliaSonera will be offering its customers is from Samsung and
at the moment these USB modems are 4G only. In terms
of equipment, only single-modems should be made
available by Samsung in mid-2010. Initially TeliaSonera
will have only about 1,000 modems and they will be split
between Stockholm and Oslo. A limited selection of LTE
handsets should become available in 2011.
Until 1 July 2010, TeliaSonera will offer its LTE service
for a mere USD 0.56 a month in Sweden with no connection fee, no fee for the modem and a 12-month contract to sign. It will loan out its modems if required. Data
transfer is however limited to 30 Gb per month.
First six months cost 4 SEK/month (USD 0.56)
Second six months cost 599 SEK/month (USD 82)
As the modem is single-mode (4G/LTE-only), an extra 3/HSPA+ modem (14 Mbps Option ICON 505) can
be provided
Both modems include a SIM card (each) and can be
swapped back once Telia releases a dual-mode modem (3G/4G) in the coming quarter (or two).
In Norway, the modem costs USD 0.17 and provides
free access until the end of March 2010. After the initial
free period, the service available in Norway is sold at USD
120 (to be compared with USD 82 in Sweden). However,

This does not mean, however, a delay in the deployment of LTE; quite the opposite, in actual fact. China
Mobile has already expressed its commitment to LTE,
using the TDD version (TD-LTE) following on from their
TD-SCDMA technology. As mentioned before, they aim
to deploy both 3G and LTE simultaneously, taking advantage of the fact that many cell sites can be shared.

LTE (Long Term Evolution) standardization within the 3GPP (3rd Generation
Partnership Project) has reached a mature state. Changes in the specification
are limited to corrections and bug fixes.
Since end 2009 LTE mobile communication systems have been deployed as a
natural evolution of GSM (Global system
for mobile communications) and UMTS
(Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System).
The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) has
coined the term IMT-Advanced to identify mobile systems whose capabilities go beyond those of IMT 2000
(International Mobile Telecommunications). Specifically
data rate requirements have been increased. In order to
support advanced services and applications 100 Mbps
for high and 1 Gbps for low mobility scenarios must be
realized. Throughout 2009 3GPP has worked on a study
with the purpose of identifying the LTE improvements
necessary to meet IMT-Advanced requirements. In September 2009 the 3GPP partners made a formal submission to the ITU proposing that LTE Release 10 & beyond
(LTE-Advanced) should be evaluated as a candidate for
IMT-Advanced. Beyond achieving technical requirements, a major reason for aligning LTE with the call for
IMTAdvanced is that IMT conformant systems will be
candidates for future new spectrum bands that are still

LTE (Long Term Evolution) standardization within the 3GPP (3rd Generation
Partnership Project) has come to a mature state by now where changes in the
specification are limited to corrections
and bug fixes. LTE mobile communication systems are to be deployed from
2010 onwards.
The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) has
coined the term IMT-Advanced to identify mobile systems capabilities going beyond those of IMT-2000. The
data rate requirements have been further increased in
order to support advanced services and applications.
For LTE, these enhancements are being investigated for
3GPP release 10 and beyond (LTE-Advanced or LTEA).
The proposed high peak-data rate targets for LTE-Advanced of 1 Gbps in downlink and 500 Mbps in uplink can
only be fulfilled with a further increase of the transmission bandwidth. Therefore transmission bandwidths up
to 100 MHz are planned for LTE-Advanced. Being an evolution of LTE, LTE-Advanced shall be backwards compatible. It shall be possible to deploy LTE-Advanced in
a spectrum already occupied by LTE with no impact on
existing LTE terminals.
This can be achieved with so-called carrier aggregation, where multiple LTE component carriers are aggregated on the physical layer to provide the necessary
bandwidth. Details of the LTE-Advanced component car-

New Services
The ability of femtocells to deliver the kind of broadband capacity that is simply not realistic on the conventional outdoor network makes them ideal for supporting
new services. For example, LTE femtocells would provide the best possible environment for locally streaming HD media around the home while concurrently supporting traditional cellular services. Crucially this can be
achieved with guaranteed quality of service unlike alternative local wireless technologies.
Additionally femtocells know when a consumer is in
the home thereby enabling location, presence and context-based applications that automatically trigger when
a consumer enters, or leaves, the home. A vast array of
application opportunities are opened up once this capability is combined with the ability of femtocells to connect
to locally connected devices and the internet. For example, femtocell applications include music synchronisation with the home PC when a customer returns home,
and virtual fridge notes where a message is delivered
when the recipient returns home.
Beyond the Home
Evidently LTE femtocells have the ability to provide a
vastly improved mobile connection at home and the potential to deliver an array of new services. However, this
is only the beginning. In response to demand from operators, the vendor community has already developed 3G
67
of femtocells to change the economics of mobile broadband is another key argument in their favour.
Operators can use femtocells to lower the cost, and
therefore the risk, of LTE rollout by adopting a different strategy to that employed in 2G and 3G networks.
Although traditional macro base stations will still be
essential to provide widespread surface coverage, operators can use both indoor and outdoor femtocells from
the outset to carry the bulk of data traffic, thereby realising major savings on backhaul and other associated
capacity costs. Obviously femtocells can also fill the remaining coverage gaps that are uneconomical to deploy
using macrocells. Combining femtocells and macrocells
in this way allows operators to build higher quality LTE
networks incrementally in line with demand and avoid
the need to second guess user uptake.
The Femto Forum commissioned an independent analyst firm Signals Research Group to look specifically
at how femtocells can impact LTE network rollout plans.
One strategy explored in the study involves an operator
giving away free femtocells to early LTE subscribers in
order to provide the best possible experience indoors
where the services will be most used. The research found
that this could be entirely funded by simply implementing a small delay in macrocell build-out, deferring 4% to
10% of the planned macrocell sites, depending upon the
scenario.

Professor Simon Saunders is one of the worlds leading authorities on femtocells and is currently chairman of the Femto Forum. As chairman Simon
works to drive the uptake of femtocell technologies through open standards,
market education and ecosystem development. He is an independent wireless
communications specialist with more than 20 years industry experience. Simon has consulted for a range of companies including O2, Ofcom, NTL, BT,
Motorola, BBC and many others. He is the author of books and articles and is a
